  Rey Fernando Antique Fino Sherry 50 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865464-8717

  Crisp, dry and with a hint of sea air - Fino Sherry is one of Jerez's most demanding, but also most rewarding, styles.

  Expert's Description

  Rey Fernando Antique Fino Sherry is a Fortified Wine from Jerez, Spain made from Palomino, bottled at 17% ABV.

  This Fino takes the young, crisp sherry style to the next level. Fino ages under a protective layer of yeast - flor - that shields the wine from oxygen and gives it its characteristic sharp, dry profile.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sharp and yeasty with almond and a hint of sea air.

  Palate

  Dry and intense with high concentration.

  Finish

  Long and saline.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled at 8-10°C in a sherry glass. One of the few wine styles that can match oysters in both aroma and intensity without being overpowered.

  Rey Fernando Antique Palo Cortado Sherry 50 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865464-18066

  Palo Cortado is considered the most enigmatic of all sherry styles - a wine that begins life as a Fino and along the way evolves into something entirely different.

  Expert's Description

  Rey Fernando Antique Palo Cortado is a Fortified Wine from Spain with an alcohol content of 20%.

  The wine comes from Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla, founded in 1837 and regarded among the Jerez area's absolute top producers. The Antique range is the house's oldest and most complex sherries, and this Palo Cortado has an average age of over 30 years - a style that unites Amontillado's freshness with Oloroso's depth.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Orange marmalade, roasted almonds and hazelnuts, marzipan, caramel and a hint of rose pepper and incense.

  Palate

  Full-flavoured and well-balanced with burnt toast, dried figs, walnuts and a salty, tangy edge.

  Finish

  Very long with notes of citrus and a waxy touch.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a small sherry glass. Pairs with aged cheeses, nuts and tapas with cured ham.

  Did You Know?

  Palo Cortado occurs when a Fino sherry unexpectedly loses its flor yeast during ageing and instead begins to oxidise like an Oloroso - a phenomenon no cellar master can force with certainty, which makes the style unique and rare.

  Rey Fernando Solera Gran Reserva Brandy 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972604

  In the sherry bodegas of Jerez, retired sherry casks are rarely used for anything other than brandy - and few do it better than Fernando de Castilla, who have made brandy production an equal discipline alongside the house's sherry.

  Expert's Description

  Rey Fernando Solera Gran Reserva is a Brandy de Jerez from Spain with an alcohol content of 38%. Bodegas Fernando de Castilla in Jerez de la Frontera produces exclusively Solera Reserva and Solera Gran Reserva on the brandy side, unlike many other houses that offer several quality tiers. The brandy is first aged in new French and American oak barrels, after which it is moved to barrels that previously held the house's finest sherries - a process that transfers character from both the wood and its former contents. The solera system means each bottle is a blend of several vintages, where the oldest part of the blend sets the tone for the whole.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dried figs, walnuts and a hint of sherry oxidation on the nose.

  Palate

  Full and complex on the palate with notes of caramel, toasted nuts and dark chocolate.

  Finish

  The finish is long and warm, with a final note of spiced wood.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at room temperature in a snifter or cognac glass. Enjoy on its own or with dark chocolate and mature cheeses.

  Rey Fernando Unico Solera Gran Reserva Brandy 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972605

  In 1972, 15 casks were separated from the bodega's solera and set aside. Since then, not a drop has been drawn from them - until now. Unico is the result of that decision, made more than 50 years ago.

  Expert's Description

  Rey Fernando Unico Solera Gran Reserva is a Brandy de Jerez from Spain with an alcohol content of 40%. Bodegas Fernando de Castilla in Jerez de la Frontera set aside a batch of 15 casks from the house solera in 1972, and nothing has been drawn from this specific stock since. From the year 2000 onward, a limited number of bottles have been hand-bottled each year from this unique reserve, with only 360 bottles in total from this particular batch. The brandy has aged in American oak barrels that previously held old sherries, giving it a depth that is rare even among Gran Reserva brandies.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense on the nose, with toasted mahogany tones, tobacco and thyme.

  Palate

  Sweet on the palate with biscotti character and a hint of ripe cherry, carried by a full-bodied structure.

  Finish

  The finish is very long, warm and spiced.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at room temperature in a snifter. Enjoy on its own as a digestif, preferably after a meal.
